flaring wrist. The ornament, shown at 
the waist, on the left side, was very odd 
and unusual. It consisted of a disk of 
black and gold braid, surrounded hy a

frock, draped something like the model at 
the left in the first, picture, with a blouse 
jacket. The bodice was of duvetyn. the 
jacket and skirt of marleen. Collar and 
cuffs were embroidered in chenille. 
Tucked bib fronts coining down almost 
to the waist line trim some of the cloth 
frocks. 
Deep, cape-like berthas appear, both as 
separate collars and as part of the trim¬ 
ming on crepe gowns. For the moment 
the deep bertha is displacing other neck-

Sleeveless dresses of black satin or 
crepe have a separate coat of Persian 
printed crepe, making the dress suitable 
for street wear. The printed material 
was in old-fashioned Paisley pattern and 
coloring. Paisley patterns are popular 
in a great variety of material. 
Knitted sports suits have straight jack¬ 
ets bound with silk braid, and are knitted 
in a mixture of two contracting shades, 
such as gray and black, brown and tan. 
cerise or henna and navy blue. They are 
seen in a wide range of prices, and seem 
designed to take the place of the useful 
jersey cloth suits. 
Sewixij-koom: Notes. —One can buy a 
surprising number of ornaments at the 
bead and trimming counters that will 
give a smart look to wearing apparel 
without excess of labor. The flat orna¬

at the side, which falls to the ground in 
two points. The draping is held by two 
round ornaments of bronze and gold. The 
finely pleated Cuffs and bib collar are of 
ecru batiste. These deep cuffs and the 
square bib collar are among new ideas 
in neckwear, and are very pretty. We 
have seen some charming bib collars of 
real lace. Irish, filet or Venise, and also 
• f batiste or georgette combined with lace. 
If will be noticed that the dress is very 
long and straight, giving the present 
slender silhouette. It is certainly a great 
contrast with the styles of six months 
ago; the "flapper" is now as much out of 
date as the long-ago "Gibson girl." 
.Teksev Cloth. —At the right is a sim- 
I le but smart dress of jersey cloth, one of 
tie most useful and least expensive of 
woolens. It could be made from the tu¬ 
bular-woven cloth, or from that woven in 
tin- ordinary width. It is all perfectly 
plain, buttoning down the front with 
small round buttons to just below the 
waist. The skirt, was pleated at the hips 
i'ii each side, and the Waist had a little 
gathering at each side at the yoke, to give 
more fullness. A yoke effect was given 
by some scattered cross-stitch embroidery 
on tlie waist, and a wide band id" the same 
embroidery crossed the front. This dress 
was chestnut, brown, embroidered in dark 
brown, with touches of orange and old 
blue. The gauntlet cuffs and deep, round 
collar were of fine unbleached linen, and 
there was a narrow belt of brown leather. 
Sometimes a dross of this type has nar¬ 
row jileated panels at the side that hang 
loose, a little below the skirt. The jersey- 
cloth in tubular weave is so easily made 
into dresses of the prevailing style that 
many girl.s who have not been in the habit 
of making their clothes try it in this ma¬ 
terial, the usual model being us simple 
as a nightgown, with kimono sleeves. 
Woolen embroidery is used for trimming, 
and the effect is good, with little work. 
Of course, the final result varies accord¬ 
ing to the care and neatness with which 
the work is done.

Ask About the Battery 
For It Carries the Load 
The engine-generator of a farm light and 
power plant must be powerful enough to 
charge the storage battery and it must 
be able to supplement the battery in de¬ 
veloping current when the amount required 
is greater than the ordinary load. But 
the big thing to consider is the size, the 
capacity, of the battery itself. 
The battery for the Westinghouse Light 
and Power Plant is extra large and very 
substantial. It has the capacity to supply 
sufficient current for everyday consump¬ 
tion without danger of over-discharging. 
It is an- easy matter for anyone to con¬ 
trol and care for the battery of the West¬ 
inghouse Light and Power Plant, and the 
Plant itself is so easy to operate. Just send
